He said I was in my early fortiesWith a lot of life before meWhen a moment came that stopped me on a dimeAnd I spent most of the next daysLooking at the x-raysTalking bout the optionsAnd talking bout sweet timeI asked him when it sank inThat this might really be the real endHow's it hit you when you get that kinda newsMan what'd you do

And he saidI went sky divingI went Rocky Mountain climbingI went 2. 7 seconds on a bull named Blu ManchuAnd I loved deeper and I spoke sweeterAnd I gave forgiveness I'd been denyingAnd he said someday I hope you get the chanceTo live like you were dying.

He said I was finally the wife--That most the time I wasn'tAnd I became a friend a friend would like to haveAnd all the sudden going fishinWasn't such an impositionAnd I went three times that year I lost my dadWell I finally read the good bookAnd I took a good long hard lookAt what I'd do if I could do it all again

And thenI went sky divingI went Rocky Mountain climbingI went 2. 7 seconds on a bull named BlumanchuAnd I loved deeper and I spoke sweeterAnd I gave forgiveness I'd been denyingAnd he said someday I hope you get the chanceTo live like you were dying.

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think aboutWhat'd you do with it what did you do with itWhat did I do with itWhat would I do with it'

Sky divingI went Rocky Mountain climbingI went 2. 7 seconds on a bull named BlumanchuAnd then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeterAnd I watched an eagle as it was flyingAnd he said someday I hope you get the chanceTo live like you were dying.To live like you were dyingTo live like you were dyingTo live like you were dyingTo live like you were dying
